Ya, I'm from the Binghamton/Endicott area (Union Center if anyone
knows of where I'm talking about) and went to college at RPI
(Troy area - armpit of New York). I've heard of Masters of Reality
several times but never had the opportunity to catch their show.
Everybody I talked to said they were pretty awesome and always told
me to make an effort to see them. Apparently (and obviously from
their group name) they tend to get their influence from Black Sabbath.
Which right there tells me they've at least got some brains when
it comes to REAL heavy metal!
Do you know the members names? Wondering if I know any of them.

The band takes another step toward national recognition. WAAF actually
played their tune on the radio! The reactions, so far, seem to fall
in line with what I've been thinking. Black Sabbath/Cream-ish kind of
sound.
Get ready, world! Here come MOR!

RE: SEAN/BEER=LABATTS
I bought the Masters of Reality album this past weekend, because
I was curious after hearing you give them the five-star treatment.
I like the album/band very much, they have a cool style. The lead
vocals are clear, and the music is rock-blues at times and more
metal at others.
A few of the tunes remind me of the Doors, like "Magical Spell"
and "Candy Girl". In that light, I can see why they are probably
great to see live, their music seems to lend itself towards good
rock theater.
Beware HM'ers -- Masters of Reality is not speed metal, nor strictly
Heavy_Metal. They do crank it at times, but I think their style
is more akin to Cream and the Doors. I do recommend the album.
I'd really like to see these guys live, I'll be on the look-out
for an appearance locally, eh SEAN ??

ROCK Short Takes
----------------
MASTERS OF REALITY
Masters of Reality (Def America)
--------------------------------
TIME WAS WHEN HEAVY ROCKERS KNEW
how to get down and dirty without losing
sight of the tune, and *Masters of Reality*
recaptures that sound better than any
album since "Mountain Climbing." Sure,
the Masters like their riffs dark and
drony, but they also have a taste for acid
blues and an almost shocking fondness
for melody (plus a signer who can make
the most of it). Forget the Cult - this
band is for real.

Despite the name,Master of reality do not sound like Black Sabbath
whatsoever.Mystical,yes.Sinister,no.
In existence since 81 M.o R.have certainly come a long way from
their days as an experimental electronic band with a drum machine
and singer Chris Goss using keyboards. Goss now plays guitar along
with Tim H.a man known only as Googe throbs on bass,and Vinnie Ludovico
drums.Their roots might still be implanted in blues and psychedelia,but
they're definitely not a bunch of boring old hippies.
This bodacious slice of aural pie sounds akin to Johnny Winter meeting
Cream.From the opening strains of the instrumental entitled Theme
for the Scientist of the Invisible.Then Domino comes in and kicks
@ss before an intense trip through The Blue Garden.Getting High
boogies,as does The Candy Song.Magical Spell strolls along with
a ripe Kinks/Doors good time lilt thats likened to Eric Clapton
meets Ray Davies on the way to Jim Morrison's!
Master of Reality effortlessly exhibit a gamut of moods.

Well, the Masters are #1...........
In the Netherlands!
On the Independent chart. :^) Oh well, it's something.
Other news: Apparantly their first video is a DOG. Made by Jean
Pellerin (noted for directing several Def Leppard videos), it appears
he decided MOR wasn't worth much effort, although "The Blue Garden"
is a real ominous little ditty.
Next single, as stated previously, "Th Candy Song." One review
I've read: "AC/DC meets the Beatles." I don't particularly like
this song; I'd rather see
"Domino"
"John Brown"
"The Eyes of Texas"
released, but what do I know?

| I picked up the Masters of Reality cassette a coupla weeks ago, and finally
got a chance to listen to it a little bit. I've only heard side one, and
only once, so this is just an off-the-cuff opinion.
Bascially, I like it. I don't *love* it, but I do like it a lot. They sound
sorta raw, but at the same time the album has a real neat/precise sound to it.
I suppose that is Rick Rubin's producing that does that. I imagine that when
they play live, there is a lot more 'noise' that helps out the overall
'atmosphere' of the band. The record is a little bit too dry for me.
Other than that, I do really like it. It reminds me a lot of early Blue Oyster
Cult (no wonder why you like them, Sean!). Also, I can hear lots of Cream
influence in them, although not so much bluesy as in Cream's experimental
stage.
I have to listen to the whole thing for a few times more to tell whether it
will grow on me, or whether I'll get bored......

Despite good reviews and the excitement about having a mojor-label
group, hoopla surrounding the band is dwindling back in Syracuse.
The bands first video was supposedly a joke (I haven't seen it).
MOR was forced to drop Mr. Owl - good friend, keyboardist, and fan
favorite. Steve Latham, the band's friend and manager has met the
same fate. Score another one for record companies. And where's
that "tour?"
Good side. The record is still being played in L.A. and Holland.
"The Candy Song" will be a CD single (I don't like the song, but
if it gets them some notice, I'll take it).

| 458.15 | | AYNRND::REILLY | You say it like it's a bad thing | Fri Aug 18 1989 12:20 | 21 |
|
Britain's New Musical Express reported in their July 15 issue that
the Masters have moved from Syracuse to LA. Actually, only Chris Goss
(singer) has - he got married.
Things don't sound so hot. Chris Goss: "Our lives haven't changed.
They still suck. There's no money to be made unless you sell a
half-a-million LP's. You're broke. You beg the record company
for money. A couple of weeks later, you're broke again. Everyone
in the band has been living the lifestyle of a musician, which means
unpaid bills, getting thrown out of appartments for unpaid rents....
it's become a big monster."
Oh well, while he's wallowing in despair, Spin magazine gave the
band a good review (I haven't read a bad one yet).
MOR played a gig at the 1500-seat club The Palace in LA and will
probably do one more Syracuse date before a European swing (they
seem to like them over there).

Chris Goss (singer) left the band. He just took off during their
tour in Chicago. The record company tried to smooth it out, but
it looks like the band is over before they even really started.
Don't know much about it, just read a lot of quotes by the rest
of the band about how ripped they were (can't blame them).
Geez, I wait 6 years for their first album, and they break up after
they make it. My friend who sawe them in L.A. just got telling
me how they did a lot of old (non-album) stuff in concert too.

Well, I bought the CD Friday night ... and I've listened
to it about 6 times so far. These guys are great!!
I wouldn't really call them H_M ... more like "progress-
ive, with a H_M edge".
The guitar is very good in most of their stuff, and I
like the vocals. He's got a good voice.
The intro, and then "Domino" kicks some serious butt ...
and "Eyes of Texas" and "Keep Walkin'" (or whatever it's
called) aren't far behind. "Kill the King" is well done,
with the effects on the vocals.

I'm sorry, but I can't just let this discussion sit here, this is
something I really feel strongly about.
I can't believe people in here want to pidgon-hole poor Ginger to
playing old blues stuff because that's what he did in the past or
because he's old or looks bad or whatever. I thought people in here
had more of an open mind then that.
Crimany, I wanna be rockin' when *I* get old! If Ginger's got the
chops and the desire to do it, I say MORE POWER TO HIM! I don't watch
someone perform to get off on their physical beauty, but on the beauty
of the music.
Stereotyping S*CKS! It's discrimination and I don't like it one bit.
Let the guy play the music he wants to play. There is no such thing as
"old peoples music" or "young peoples music". As far as music goes,
it's how you feel in your heart!

Ginger Baker influenced my drumming when I was young like no
drummer ever has. I was in Jr. High when Cream was really strong
and having an older brother I really took to his style. For his
time and I repeat "for his time" there were no double bass drummers
that really used them for anything besids looks. He brought rock
drumming to a new light. He's still tops in my book.
I went to see him in Denver last year at a drum clinic. He was
very friendly and talked about his years of drug problems. He said
he was 56 years young last year so he's no spring chicken. He also
talked about his years of Olive farming in Italy while he was kicking
Heroin addiction. The guys been through alot and he can still tear up
a drum kit for his age. If you want to compare drummers his age look
at Charlie Watts, now thats a 50 year old drummer.
I think he's a great drummer and always will be to me. I talked with
him briefly when I got him to sign a copy of Wheels Of Fire for me.
Thumbs up to Ginger Baker!!!

| Being in Syracuse, home of MOR, I can catch the Boogeymen at local
gigs any chance I get. They have a decent following here and seem
to be getting tighter. Also Mr. Owl does his own show on off nights
and works in a local music store. More to come.....

From "Random Notes"
It was a match made somewhere between rock and roll heaven and the
pages of a Ralph Lauren ad. When the metal gods in MASTERS OF REALITY
needed to anchor their rhythm section, they turned to the patriarch of
power drummers, GINGER BAKER, a polo buddy of the group's manager. "I
think the problem with the band is that they've never really had a
drummer, ever," says Baker, who is currently touring with the Masters.
"They've used all sorts of thrash-and-bash heavy-metal drummers."
Baker, who banged out his niche in music history over twenty years ago
with CREAM, sees no problem with the age gap between him and the rest
of the band members. "We get on quite well," he says. "We play cards.
But I don't really like being on the road. I'd rather be home with my
wife and my animals."

I bought the Masters Of Reality cd this past weekend. I have to say
that they have a very solid, basic rock sound to them that is very
appealing to me. Brings back the '70's style of rock. A little
slower, a little grittier and a little harder hitting. As earlier
stated, not every song is heavy, but still very good music.

So I'm driving down 495, and 'BCN starts crankin' this tune, drums
right out of Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz," riffs mixing in a little
Omar and the Howlers blues and Alvinn Lee boogie, and then... the
voice... unmistakable Chris Goss, the Monotone Wonder, this *had* to
be the new Master's CD!. Quick detour into Emerald Square, battle
the Shining Time Station crowds to Tape World, hunt up up "Sunrise
on the Sufferbus" ($16, but I can't wait for Noteworthy for this)
and my day is made. After a few listens, I'll post a review.

And I'm still waiting for the David Lynch movie that is supposed
to have the song "Ants in the Kitchen" from it on the soundtrack.
